Said LSU was his dream school but he wished he knew more about the “politics in college” back when he chose LSU and he would have made a different decision.

When asked what it was like playing for BK and staff he said it was “different” and he wasn’t gonna “bash nobody”

When asked about his choice to transfer to Arizona St. he said the coaches were “real genuine” and “they care about me” said he wanted to go to a school that “wanted me as much as I wanted them”

Someone sounds butthurt.

Injuries set him back, had high hopes for him. Seemed like he really wanted to be at LSU, didn't work out obviously

Politics equals: I was told one thing in recruitment, I got there and wasn’t as good, so things changed.

Best are gonna play.

I heard that Laterrance tried to bring back the Whig Party but no one on the team wanted to help him.

How dare a player say anything other than glowing amazing things about BK and the way he runs the program.

College football is a business. He isn’t ready to deal with that reality.

He had to have a ‘reason’ so he made one up that didn’t implicate him… normal

Most of the time when players don't get on the field or start, it's the coaches' fault for practicing favoritism, which comes out as "politics." Someone has to be at fault, so kids blame it on the coaches, rather than acknowledging that maybe they just weren't good enough or prepared to play in a program like LSU.

I know several players who weren't starting at LSU under other coaches, so they transferred. They all blame the former LSU coaches to a certain extent.

It's always politics when you can't do the job you were brought in to do. Best of luck though....

Kids say Politics when they really mean business. He got hurt, he was getting burnt. LSU made a business decision to play someone else.

No politics involved. This ain't high school where you can get your mommy to call the school to demand more playing time for the star player.

I was pulling for him to succeed, but he didn't. It wasn't because of a lack of opportunity.

His HS injuries robbed him of being special

I get being bitter about it especially at his age but c’mon man just move on. Everyone here has
